TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN;

Be it known that I, EDWARD HUNTER, of Philndelphin, Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Spectacles; end I do hereby declare the following to be in full, clear, and exact description of the snme.

My invention consists of n detechoble nose-piece, so fitted and secured to the frames of spectacles that the glasses are rendered ajustable from or towards each other, and; adaptable to the use of difi'erent wearers.

In oriler to enable others to make and use mygnvention, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this specification, nntl inv whioh- Figure 1 is a front view of my improved enectecles, and' Figures 2 and 3 views or? part of the same drawn to an enlarged scale.

A and A 'nre the usual frames, in whioh are fitted the glasses of the spectacles, and' to thesefr'ames are hinged the usimlf elastic nrrns B B. v s

On the inner end of each frame is-a. tubniisr' projection, 11, each projection being furnished with a set-screw,

One end of a nose-piece, C, fits snunlv in the projection 6 of one frame, and the other end into the proje'e tion of thopther frame.

When t is desired toso adjust the spectacles that the frames will be in the most convenient relative position for the eyes of the wearer, the set-screws e e are loosened, and the fremestirawn apart or moved tewerdseach other to the desired e xtent,'a.fter which the screws are tightened,

It will be evident that the nose-piece may be made tubular at the opposite ends, to admit solid projections on the frame.

I claim vas my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Pstent-' The nose-piece 0, adapted to projections 15, on the frames of the spectnbl'es, for the edjustability of the same, substantially in'tbe manner set. forth.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two. subscribing witnesses EDWARD HUNTER.
